Anyone knows this band??? If not, you should really try this music. But don't imagine that you can buy an album of these guys, because you have to pay alot money for it. Esspecially the 2nd album, that will cost you around the $200 if you find one on ebay.

But their music is great, it's really depressing nice music.

    So nobody knows this band???? Pretty stupid if you ask me. It's the best altenative band in the '90. But ok...wisdom comes with years. ;)

    Robin Propper-Sheppard, lead vocalist of God Machine is also responsible for the very different, very brilliant project: Sophia.

    While God Machine only released two albums due to the death of their bass player, Sophia literally JUST released its 6th album. The Sophia collective also recorded an album under the name The May Queens in 2000.

    God Machine and Sophia are night and day in their sound. Check out Sophia at http://www.geocities.com/wouterberteloot/sophia.html

    EDIT: Anyone looking to get into God Machine/Sophia etc....I have a HUGE collection and I'm always willing to trade!

    I didn't hear Sophia yet. But from what I heard from people about Sophia is that the first 2 albums must be brilliant. I will check them out later.

    But it's a pity that Fiction Records don't re-release the albums of The God Machine. I'm sure that there are a couple of people that want to buy the albums.

    Actually, the band debuted under the name God Machine in January 1991, so umm...

    Yep, it has nothing to do with the Smashing Pumpkins. But I can tell you that this music has the same level as the Smashing Pumpkins and I'm sure that there are alot of people that will like them better.

    Here is the song Home, only the quality of the sound is a little bit bad:

    I fukin love this band! Scenes is good but One Last Laugh.. is my fave.
    The Tremelo song, The Devil Song, Painless, Dream Machine, The Train Song, The Flower Song and Evol currently love all these tracks. I already knew of this band but thanks to Klumpie for 'whoring' them to me as they're brill :)

    I just saw Sophia live in Belgium yesterday and I had the pleasure of interviewing Robin to support that particular show.

    I'm not into all of Sophia's music, it's a little too heavy on the mood. Thought People are like seasons and Technology won't save us, the latest album, are really good. And Robin is a very nice guy to chat with.

    Is there someone in the world who has the songs 'Train' and 'What Time Is Love'?? If so then you can always PM me. :p 'Train' is a cover of The Morlochs and 'What Time Is Love' is a cover of KLF. I am searching those songs, but they are almost unfindable. :)
